I am writing
this
letter to complain about a malfunctioning
laptop
I bought from your store
last
year. I am working as a Project Manager for XYZ Company and for the
last
two months, I have been working from home for personal reasons. The
laptop
’s keyboard has not been working properly since
last
week. The keys have to be pressed hard so I am making extra efforts to avoid spelling mistakes. To my horror, yesterday evening during my Skype session with an international client, some of the keys stopped working totally. I have been managing work by connecting an external keyboard to the
laptop
, which takes longer to operate and is cumbersome. I have to finish some important projects by
next
week so it is crucial for me to get
this
problem fixed immediately. I request you to replace my
laptop
as soon as possible with another fully functional
laptop

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
